Iowa is in Ashton Kutcher's blood, and no matter where his career has taken him, he's never forgotten his roots. He's particularly interested in supporting the arts in his home state, and opening up the same path he's followed for those who want to come after him. He's often seen as a face in the crowd at college sports games in the state, and has offered acting classes in many schools and colleges. Iowa has also benefited from Kutcher's charitable side: he was the man who launched the Native Fund, which offers financial support for people affected by disasters.
Professionally, Kutcher's media profile was helped immeasurably by his marriage to Demi Moore, which elevated him above the level of fame he'd achieved as the star of the prank television show 'Punk'd.' He then went on to replace the troubled Charlie Sheen in 'Two and A Half Men,' before making his mark in the more 'serious' realm of acting by playing Apple founder Steve Jobs in the 2013 biopic movie 'Jobs.'
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
